Replies to: Can an undocumented student go to Sophie Davis?

If you are living in the U.S. illegally, you are not eligible for federal financial aid. Applying for it would be all but impossible. Some schools may give you institutional aid independent of your federal aid status but affording anything but community college would be impossible given that one generally supplements the other.

If you are a citizen of another country looking to study here, you may receive aid but it will likely not be that much. Colleges make a lot of their money off of wealthy international students looking to enjoy the prestige of studying in the U.S.

Yes, I understand that an undocumented student would not receive federal aid.
Sophie Davis offers all their students premed and medical school at a reduced price in return for serving as a physician for two years after graduating. I am not sure if this counts as federal aid or just in-state tuition.
Deffered action students are eligible for in-state tuition. I also heard that going to medical school is almost impossible for undocumented students? I hope someone can give me more information on this.

I mean that medical school is expensive as hell. An undocumented student can not get federal aid for medical school. Illegals are usually poor and their families do not have $200,000+ in the bank to pay.
